Review on CC3D Filament Printing Printer Materials by Michael Freemason

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good filament but fairly transparent

Prints well on my (heavily modified, including Bullseye cooling) Ender 3. Thermal Tower 240-190°C prints almost no difference in temperature range. The thread is a little more translucent than I would expect from a pseudo stone color. So when using it you may need to increase the number of walls to not see the infill. I printed a small vase after the heat tower and it came out very nice, but quite translucent (not a big deal for a vase), about what you would see with thin shells. The angel statue pictured doesn't show much light transmission, if any, and is a good example of what you can do with a well tuned printer. The statue is approximately 3 inches tall and was printed with a layer thickness of 0.1mm. The bench is also currently printed with a layer height of 0.1mm and definitely shows the infill pattern through the walls. to cause some of the print to detach from the glass substrate, but a quick application of glue stick and rubbing alcohol solved the problem. So if you're looking for faux stone thread and don't mind playing with the wall thickness of your prints, this should work just fine.

Pros
  • High Compatibility: The glittery black filament is universally designed and compatible with 3D printers that use 1.75mm diameter filament with a dimensional accuracy of +/- 0.03mm.
Cons
  • Not bad but...
